My sole argument is that the feature does not introduce any hidden or
subtle changes.  As long as users have a recent enough GTK installed
and use menu bars any bugs should be easy to find.  The glitch Robert
has detected is a proof for this claim (my GTK was too old for that).

In either case I'll be just happy to put this problem to a rest - on
the release branch or on master.
